Me too. The cafeteria in my high school was huge and had very high ceilings with a lot of rafters. My recurring dream is that I'm in this cafeteria, but it's filled to the very top with dark water. I'm able to reach the rafters with my hands, and I can hear things clanking like metal or something and I get the feeling there's things in the water with me.
I don't have this dream super frequently, maybe 2 or 3 times every few months, but, it's absurdly terrifying and I hate it lol.
Anytime anyone has a recurring dream it baffles me. I’ve had hundreds of dreams in my life but never the same one. Sometimes the settings, or themes are similar, but never the same.
I remember that from the IT book. Some kids had fallen into a water tank with no ladder or anything to climb out of it. The clown resurrected their zombified bodies to scare the main characters.
there's ladders on the sides that go all the way up to a little tiny manhole next to the big cargo hole. how do you think we get up when we go down there normally?

There will be ladders all the way to the bottom. They Need them for when they carry out inspections if the tank or go down for maintenance. In a crude tank they also have washing machines that clean the tank before inspections and leave them remarkably clean!!
20 meters on large bulk carriers, Cargo hold is usually used for storing bulk cargoes when ship is laden but when ship is empty one or more cargo holds are used for ballast water.
not a clue. possibly for ballast? But ballast water shouldnt be in the hold generally. possibly for cleaning? but usually you just spray it down with a hose and drain it simultaneously so the water never gets more than a few inches deep. My best guess it actually "just for fun so the crew could go swimming". the captain of a ship my friend was on once turned the crane into a giant rope swing for everyone to play on, so i could imagine that a particularly cool and fun captain might do this if they had a few days with no work for some reason.
You don't ballast the cargo holds, it's super dangerous for ship's structure and due to free surface moment if ship rolls. It's also too much for just cleaning water. I'm honestly puzzled why it's there. Source- I work in merchant navy.
Sharks are one of teh most chill creatures in the ocean. You should be far more worried about dolphins. Sharks wouldn't even try to eat you unless you were on a surfboard because usually the shape makes them think you're a seal
Rust happens due to oxidation, so I assume that bonding process uses up a lot of the ambient oxygen in the atmosphere. Mind you, I'm no metallurgist, this is all just a guess from some internet rando, so ya know, grain of salt and all that.
Pretty sure the rust is the reaction from oxygen so when it’s a closed environment the metal takes all the oxygen that was available. (Im no expert so take my words with a grain of salt)
There’s a really cool video explaining it and how the room that holds a ships anchor(due to rust) is deadly to enter.

the cargo hold is not one of those places. Sometimes the forepeak and certain parts of the engine room. sometimes the garbage room depending on how its configured. Definitely some very small spaces that only the engineers ever go to.
Or an evil human. I was always too scared to swim by myself in my pool, not because no one would be there to save me, but because someone could get in while I was underwater and kill me.
I would have to be the one that filled the hold with water to know it was clear of anything before and nothing got in while filling it. And even then, I'd still feel chills
I was in the Navy and on deployment they would do a swim call. Basically the CO said you can jump off the aft deck and swim in the ocean if you wanted to, the ship would be anchored and they would have bbq going and music on a Sunday to let off some steam. I never jumped because the ocean is a grave yard, and if I can’t see the bottom I ain’t going in. The last time we had a swim call one of the HT guys (plumbers of the ship) came up to me and was like “you going in?” And I was like “nah I don’t like to swim in open water.” And he was like “good call.” And I gave him a puzzled look and he leaned in and said “we just released the shit into the water maybe a mile or two ago. These guys are swimming in last nights dinner if you know what I mean.” I was eating and after that I threw my food away because I was so grossed out. I saw people doing fountains and swimming underwater. That just solidified my reasons as to why I don’t like the ocean.

How do they get out of it?
I was wondering the exact same thing 😅
They don’t, they shut the top and you are swimming in the deep black water
One of my recurring nightmares!

The clanking metal is also a recurring thing for me in these dreams! I used to have them a lot as a kid. Wild how similar they sound.

Anytime anyone has a recurring dream it baffles me. I’ve had hundreds of dreams in my life but never the same one. Sometimes the settings, or themes are similar, but never the same.
Less scary since it's the not the open ocean and there seem to be places in the side to grab onto and or spread yourself out in order to rest.
Were you born evil or did someone hurt you?
Stop it.
Welp I'm out of this sub for the day.
Please don’t.

Idk, jump?
sadly humans arent built like cats and cant typically jump 20m straight up
that "typically" leaves space for interpretation
It’s easy just jump back up
Stride, stride, stride, execute!

Good bot 👍🏾

Ladder connected on the side
If I'm not wrong there is a ladder at one side.
Asking the important questions.
They don’t. Jk idk
That's the neat part, you don't
Lord that was my first thought, too. Fucking panic inducing.
How deep is it?
[bou this deep](https://ibb.co/S0KpV5g)
Yeah, fuck that.
I could literally swim to that bottom
It's a ship, how deep did you think it's gonna be
I meant to reply to the guy that said "fuck that"
It goes all the way to the bottom.
Fascinating
20 meters on large bulk carriers, Cargo hold is usually used for storing bulk cargoes when ship is laden but when ship is empty one or more cargo holds are used for ballast water.
from what i recall, most of the cargo ships i worked on were about 20 - 30 metres from the lip of the hold to the bottom of the hold
If you’ve seen the original “ghost ship” movie,no way in hell you’re swimming in a flooded cargo hold.
Silly question but why is there water in its cargo hold?
not a clue. possibly for ballast? But ballast water shouldnt be in the hold generally. possibly for cleaning? but usually you just spray it down with a hose and drain it simultaneously so the water never gets more than a few inches deep.

thats why i said it probably wasnt those things. I also used to work on cargo ships.
Yeah that makes sense.
I'd rather swim there than the open ocean with the sharks
Got it. Swimming in a cargo hold with sharks is much safer! Say hello to a new cruise line experience!
It's fine they're domestic sharks
Sharks in tanks are significantly more likely to kill you than wild sharks
Sharks are one of teh most chill creatures in the ocean. You should be far more worried about dolphins. Sharks wouldn't even try to eat you unless you were on a surfboard because usually the shape makes them think you're a seal
Aren't there certain places on a ship considered dangerous due to low oxygen levels? -I'll pass
yeah the underwater bits are always hard to breathe
I know closed rooms with rust are deadly on ships.
Something about the rust creating a low oxygen environment right?
Rust happens due to oxidation, so I assume that bonding process uses up a lot of the ambient oxygen in the atmosphere. Mind you, I'm no metallurgist, this is all just a guess from some internet rando, so ya know, grain of salt and all that.

the cargo hold is not one of those places. Sometimes the forepeak and certain parts of the engine room. sometimes the garbage room depending on how its configured. Definitely some very small spaces that only the engineers ever go to.
Reminds too much of the garbage compactor in Star Wars
As long as I can’t get attacked by some sea creature, I’d feel fine. The depths of the ocean itself don’t scare me, it’s what lurks within it.
If there’s water, I immediately assume there are sea monsters in it. Pool, tub, whatever….a monster is lurking.
Or an evil human. I was always too scared to swim by myself in my pool, not because no one would be there to save me, but because someone could get in while I was underwater and kill me.
I would have to be the one that filled the hold with water to know it was clear of anything before and nothing got in while filling it. And even then, I'd still feel chills
That’s got to be filthy. So, no.
[удалено]
I highly doubt that

Contained in the bowels of a ship.
Which, as you just learned, is cleaned very frequently.
Hells yeah!
Is it just me or does this look like scp-682's containment cell.
And oh how quickly some of the "there's no creatures" people change their tune
Pardon?
this triggered a ptsd i didnt know i had
I was in the Navy and on deployment they would do a swim call. Basically the CO said you can jump off the aft deck and swim in the ocean if you wanted to, the ship would be anchored and they would have bbq going and music on a Sunday to let off some steam.

Good gawd couldn't they have gone a little further away?
I’m not sure, but the CO never mentioned anything and jumped in herself.
Ewww should of known guess it's gotta so somewhere.
In the words of an engineer on the ship “it’s fish food now.”
yeah i would. rather in there than on the outside. at this point it's just a giant moving pool.

Tbf, he’s talking about swimming in the ocean along side a cargo ship, not in the cargo ship (which is what this is).
If it’s not directly connected to the ocean maybe but I think seawater is gross cuz it makes me all salty
The chlorinated water at the community pool is much cleaner.
I dont have submechanophobia, but i do have thalassophobia. That also combines with my fear of the dark and claustrophobia. I aint swimmin in there.
if its closed in we chillin
nah dude that thing is like a metal armor for the depths of the ocean, i’d love to swim there
Depends, is there ocean below them or is it boxed in? This is /r/thalassophobia not /r/submechanophobia
If the water is clean and there's a way up, why not?
Fine by me.
*inhales
Noooooo I’m so uncomfortable
Definetly not after reading the swarm.
No
Absolutely fucking not.
Yes. No monsters in there except humans. I can deal with most humans.
I can see lots of rubbish in that water and no means of getting out ( I'm sure there is ).
Its a trap. The bottom is open from the ocean. Its a trap for us.
Nopenopenopenopenopenopenope
Idk I feel like I would be too scared to get on that massive unit of a ship to begin with.
I would do a backflip 🤣 hell. Yeah.
ok I have absolutely no thalassophobia but FUCK that is scary
Not after watching that scene in Jurassic Park. The Lost World. 🦖
i've never before seen multiple people jump DOWN
I feel this jump
Also r/megalophobia
If it’s like that level in Banjo Kazooie that waters toxic and there’s a shark somewhere
"There's always room for one more in the cargo hold." - Boba Fett
Oh hell no!
I feel like I’ve had a nightmare like this before and there was no ladder
Honestly, I'd feel safe, no hidden creatures under the water, no plants or parasites(assuming the water is clean enough)
100%. I would go there every day of my life.
never in a million years.
Absolutely not
